Awards in Design and Manufacturing
Ross is the recipient of more industry "Awards in Excellence" for innovation, dependability and performance than any other fly reel manufacturer in the world.

Pros: Good drag, smooth, perfect for larger trout and steelhead. I purchased a #4, paired it wth a TFO 9 foot rod. Durable finish, affordable, perfect for the budget conscious fisherman that wants a top quality product.

Pros: I am an avid lure fisherman for Trout, in south-eastern Australian streams. I decided to give the dry-fly a crack, after being hounded by a good mate of mine, who has been fly-fishing for about 2 years. I decided on a 4wt rig and found a very nice G.Loomis 4wt Streamdance Metolius on Ebay. I found the Ross Flyrise on RiverBum and decided to try it out, spooling with 100m of 20lb braid backing and 4wt Rio Gold WF floating line and a 9ft 6x leader. I took it out for the first session today and the reel performed flawlessly - it is well made and very good to look at, the drag is superb - smooth as silk and the reel emits a nice audible (not too loud) click, when it is turned. It is a very well made reel - at a bargain price. I like quality gear - hence the Loomis rod and all my other fishing gear is top-notch. Unfortunately, I didn't have a large budget for a fly reel, but this one has impressed me greatly. I'd recommend it to anyone. Cheers.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Great reel for a bargain price - works well and smooth as silk.
